Lol, oh Sony.

If this is true this is just as dumb as the time King tried to trademark not only saga but also candy.

Lol would be surprised if that isnt already a game tbh. We already have an E-Sports Simulator type game, why not one for Lets Players too

Boss: Dammit people! I'm sick and tired of all these Let's Plays on my computer! ESPECIALLY THE GODDAMN MINECRAFT VIDEOS!

Employee: (looks away from laptop) Yea, they're getting quite irritating. What now?

Employee #2: Why don't we buy Minecraft and ban all videos made without our permission?

Drunk Employee: Erhh...LOL. Nah, why don't we trademark the words "Let's play!"?(Swallows down another Vodka bottle).

Boss: You're a goddamn genius! LET'S DO IT!

Microsoft beat them to it. XD

Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I was talking about this over on Dtoid and was wondering how long it would take to show up and the results that would follow. Everything went as I predicted, not even disappointed.

Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

With how many simulators there are, I wouldn't be surprised either xD There's a game dev tycoon game, so why not a let's play type?
